The MIT Tech

Development Setup

The recommended way to develop on this website is to use Docker. See DEVELOP.md for more details.

Development Workflow

1. Make your awesome changes.
2. Add your changes to the Git staging area: git add <changed_files>.
3. Commit your changes: git commit -m "Some message better than this".
4. Rebase your changes to make sure you're staying on top of the newest dev branch: git pull --rebase origin dev.
5. Push to the dev branch: git push origin dev
6. Ping the Techno Director, to have the changes merged into master, and deployed to the staging/production website.
